THE INTERNATIONAL OHIO BURLESQUE FESTIVAL AND LE FEMME MYSTIQUE BURLESQUE

About Us.

The award winning Ohio Burlesque Festival was established in 2011 as a one night showcase celebrating burlesque, variety, vaudeville and drag. Enthusiastic sold out crowds encouraged the expansion of the festival to two and finally three nights by 2013. OBF is one of Cleveland's best underground events, with over 70 diverse local and international entertainers. Burlesque is having its second golden age! This year's festival is dedicated to the past century of the art form - and its present and future. Performance styles including old school and neo burlesque, nerdlesque, drag, live music, bellydance, aerial acrobatics, sideshow, and vaudeville can be seen on the OBF stage. OBF attracts an audience of over 900 over the fest’s three days. Our online reach through digital marketing and social media is over 10,000 followers. We can be seen in Cleveland Scene Magazine, The Plain Dealer, Cleveland Magazine and online publications as Fresh Water Cleveland, Cool Cleveland and Yelp! In addition over 10,000 handbills are distributed throughout Ohio in the run-up to the festival.Our ninth anniversary festival will take place on August 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, 2019.

The OBF is produced and sponsored by Cleveland Burlesque (formerly Le Femme Mystique Burlesque) led by Bella Sin and the OBF Board of Directors.
